...Code of Ethics Comparison
Between the American Counseling Association and the American Association of Christian Counselors
Rachel Trimble
Liberty University
Abstract
The American Counseling Association and the American Association of Christian Counselors both contain a Code of Ethics. This paper will discuss the differences and similarities between a Christian Counselor and a non-Christian Counselor. The differences and similarities range from general to specific. General differences include their overall view of the helping profession, yet the codes are quite similar in the pursuit to do no harm to those they serve. Upon further inspection, it is evident the differences and similarities as they refer to competence, reporting of colleagues and sexual intimacies. As stated in the introduction to the Code of Ethics for the American Association of Christian Counselors, may God grant grace for the task to discern the differences and similarities of each code, and the courage to live accordingly.
Even though the American Association of Christian Counselors and the American Counseling Association has the same title for their Code of Ethics does not imply that they have the same standards nor does it mean that they have many differences. However difficult it might be for a counselor to follow a Code of...

...A code of ethics is “the principles and values that guide the actions of an individual or population when faced with questions of right and wrong”. It is important for individuals to follow codes of ethics in order to be successful as an individual or be successful in a professional career. Following codes of ethics makes it easier for an individual to distinguish what is right from what is wrong. Following codes of ethics will help an individual become a better person or perform at a higher level at work. To follow codes of ethics, individuals also know what their responsibilities are and how they can carry out those responsibilities with better standards and it provide guidance for nurses.

...Abstract
There are various code of ethics that counselors today apply to their profession to help them be successful. In today’s society, counselors use various ethical codes but the main ethiccodes that counselors use are the American Association of Christian Counseling (AACC) and the American Counseling Association (ACA). The American Counseling Association (ACA) and American Association of Christian Counseling (AACC) sets ethical standards to accommodate counselors practicing professional counseling, however the American Counseling Association (ACA) code of ethics does not relate counseling issues in the Christian perspective. The American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) was purposely organized for assisting Christian counselors with biblically based values and universal standards for ethical Christian counseling. While the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) code of ethics have many similarities they also have many differences that set the two apart. One major difference between these two codes of ethics is that the American Association of Christian Counseling (AACC) focuses on the Christian impact in the counseling profession. The code is to be applied to Christian counselors, clients, and the church oversee to evaluate...

...﻿Marvilla, Monale A.
I basically like Ethics as an academic subject because it’s a supplementary learning aid to what’s supposed to be known (at heart) by everyone without the needs of having it taught at educational facilities and the like. Why?
Humans are created with basic innate goodness within them; that is to say: it’s an automatic act to avoid what is evil and yearn what is good; able to distinguish between good and evil, right or wrong, moral and immoral, and is accountable for the self’s actions- expecting reward or punishment. A
I found George F. Will’s article from the Washington Post, “Code of Coercion” quite interesting. Some good points are brought up in the article such as whether or not a certain field or program of education should even come with a so called set of ideological “rules”. Sure there are codes of ethics and guidelines for conduct in most professions, but these are not absolute, and surely don’t mean the same thing to everyone.
Yes, there are four main questions I think we need to consider. 1) Are there ideological rules in the NASW code of ethics? 2) Should there be ideological rules in the NASW code of ethics? 3) If there should be ideological rules in the NASW code of ethics, does the code of ethics have the right rules, is it missing some, and does it have some...

Liberty University
Abstract
The American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) and the American Counseling Association (ACA) have both established a code of ethics to assist and protect their members in serving and protecting their clients. While there are many differences between the two ethicscodes, there are also many similarities. The first part of this essay will discuss the general differences in ethicscodes adhered to from the AACC and the ACA. The second part of this essay will discuss the differences between the two organizations’ codes of ethics in subjects of conflict of interest in fees, sexual intimacies, and discrimination.

...﻿ACA and AACC: EthicsCodes Compared
Liberty University
Abstract
Codes of ethics are guidelines that are created to give various professions and organizations a structure in which to work within. Codes of ethics could be considered structured behavioral ideals for professional people to follow. And, for the purpose of this paper several ethical codes for counseling professionals from both the American Counseling Association and the American Association of Christian Counselors will be examined. The ACA and the AACC are specialized organizations that emphasize one’s duty as a professional counselor to every client. However, the two organizations base their standards on very different foundations. The ACA basis for ethical standards is secular while the AACC centers its ethical standards on Bible teachings and scripture. Further, this paper will examine the similarities and differences that both the ACA and the AACC have on the issues of confidentiality, colleague relationships, and fees.
